stakeholders and the proposed sale of substantially all of the Applicant's assets, properties and
undertakings to GoodLife Fitness Centres Inc. ("GoodLife").

"Ancillary Order"), among other things: (i) extending the Stay Period to and including May 10,
2013; (ii) approving the assignment of a certain lease (the "Danforth Lease") to GoodLife
pursuant to the APA; (iii) authorizing the Monitor to make certain interim distributions from the
proceeds (the "Sale Proceeds") of the Transaction (as defined below) to: (1) Golub Capital
Incorporated ("Golub"), as agent, on behalf of the DIP Lender (as defined in the Initial Order) in
respect of the amounts advanced to the Applicant under the DIP Credit Agreement plus interest
and costs, (2) the Applicant in respect of its post-filing obligations, including liabilities intended

respect of leases assigned to GoodLife, (3) Golub, as agent, on behalf of the lenders under the
Priority Credit Agreement (as defined in the February 7 Affidavit) in respect of the amounts

defined in the APA), personal property used in the Applicant's business and substantially all of
the equipment leases and real property leases.

defined in the APA) was 12:01 a.m. on April 1, 2013.
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 5
12. The consummation of the Transaction resulted in the preservation of approximately 70%
of the jobs of the Applicant's employees, and provided for continued supplier relationships and
continued business activity at all the locations from which the Applicant operated.
13. Following the closing of the Transaction, the Monitor completed the Interim
Distributions in accordance with the Ancillary Order.
14. The Applicant and GoodLife subsequently agreed that the Adjustment Amount (as

the Monitor to GoodLife in accordance with the terms of the APA. In accordance with the terms
of the APA and the consent of GoodLife, the remainder of the Holdback (as defined in the APA)
was released to the Monitor for the benefit of the Applicant, after a payment of approximately
$20,083 from the Holdback was made to Integrity Square LLC (financial advisor to the
Applicant that assisted with the sale process) pursuant to its engagement agreement with the
Applicant.
15. Pursuant to the Endorsement of the Honourable Justice Morawetz dated March 27, 2013,
$430,000 from the proceeds from the Transaction was required to be held by the Monitor
pending a hearing to determine, among other things, the amount owing by the Applicant with
respect to the Danforth Lease
16. On or about April 10, 2013, CRA assessed the Applicant for unpaid source deductions
under the ITA in the aggregate amount of approximately $374,000, of which approximately
$32,416 relates to the post-filing period. An amount of $40,197 will be held in trust in
accordance with the requested Order to account for the amounts relating to the post-filing period
plus estimated penalties and interest if the Applicants objection is unsuccessful. On July 2, 2013,
the Applicant filed an objection with respect to the reassessments. The amounts owing by the
Applicant, if any, have yet to be determined.
17. On May 9, 2013, upon a motion by the Applicant, this Court granted an order, among
other things: (i) extending the Stay Period to and including July 12, 2013; (ii) approving the
Third Report of the Monitor dated May 1, 2013, and the actions of the Monitor described therein;

Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 6
settlement agreement and release dated May 9, 2013 (the "Settlement Agreement") between the
Applicant and the landlord under the Danforth Lease (the "Danforth Landlord")
18. Pursuant to the May 9 Order, the Monitor released the settlement amount under the
Settlement Agreement to the Danforth Landlord and distributed the remainder of the $430,000 in
accordance with the Ancillary Order and May 9 Order.
19. On or about April 24, 2013, the Applicant and Royal Bank of Canada ("RBC") entered
into an agreement (the "RBC Agreement") to govern the return of a $500,000 reserve that RBC
was holding pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement dated June 8, 2012 between the
Applicant and RBC. Pursuant to the RBC Agreement, the balance of the funds are scheduled to
be returned to the Applicant by July 8, 2013.
20. On June 24, 2013, Falconhead, Paymentech and NBC entered into the Paymentech
Agreement to govern the return of a $900,000 reserve that Paymentech was holding pursuant to
the terms of the Select Merchant Payment Card Processing Agreement dated February 2, 2011
between the Applicant and Paymentech, for itself and on behalf of The Bank of Nova Scotia and
First Data Loan Company, Canada. A copy of the Paymentech Agreement is attached as Exhibit
"B" to this Affidavit.
21. The Applicant has approximately $800,000.00 in its possession, and the Monitor has
approximately $5,779,000.00 in its possession, which will be distributed to NBC, as agent on
behalf of the NBC Lenders, less the amount of $40,197.00 to be held by Aird & Berlis LLP in
trust pending the resolution of the assessments issued by CRA in respect of the Applicant for
unpaid source deductions under the ITA and less any fees and costs, in accordance with the
requested Order and the Ancillary Order.
22. Following distribution to NBC of the remaining sale proceeds and funds as described
above, there are no material assets remaining.
III. THE TERMINATION OF THE CCAA PROCEEDINGS
23. The Applicant has duly complied with its obligations and carried out its responsibilities
under the CCAA and the Orders granted by this Court in these CCAA Proceedings and believes
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 7
it is appropriate for this Court to terminate these CCAA Proceedings, including the
Administration Charge, the D&O Charge (except as set out above) and the DIP Charge at this
time.
24. It is the intention of Greg Karpel, the Interim Controller of the Applicant, and myself, in
my capacity as the Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Applicant, to resign from our respective
positions contemporaneously with the filing of the Monitor's Discharge Certificate with this
Court.
25. The requested relief is supported by the Monitor and the Applicant's senior secured
creditors, Golub and NBC.
26. This Affidavit is sworn in support of the relief requested by the Applicant and for no
other or improper purposes.

lender), extended the Applicant a priority credit facility, as further detailed below.
20. The Company and A&M worked throughout April and May, 2012 to identify, review and
assess the impact of the discrepancies and irregularities that existed in the Company's books and
records. As this work progressed, it became evident that the Company's financial statements for
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 6
the fiscal years ending December 31, 2010 and 2011, and its monthly financial statements for
January to April, 2012 required restatement. The primary financial statement items that had been
misstated, included, but were not limited to:
(a) personal training revenue, accounts receivable and deferred revenue;
(b) allowance for doubtful accounts;
(c) membership revenues; and
(d) GST/H.ST liabilities.

$7,072,813. The Applicant is requesting a sealing of this exhibit as it contains commercially
sensitive information, the release of which could prejudice the stakeholders of the Company.
23. The Applicant's liabilities total approximately $57 million, $44 million of which are
secured (including capital lease obligations),

Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 11
40. The Canadian dollar National Bank account (the "CAD National Bank Account") is the

Interac direct deposit payments made in favour of the Applicant are deposited. Approximately
76.5% of the Company's aggregate cash receipts are deposited into the CAD National Bank

Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 13
(f) Government of Canada / Canada Revenue Agency
45. On April 23, 2012, the Company's legal counsel wrote to the CRA to initiate a voluntary
disclosure under CRA's VDP relating to under reported GST/HST collections and overstated
input tax credits for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011. In a letter dated May 10, 2012, CRA
assigned a VDP case number to Extreme and confirmed that the effective date of the voluntary
disclosure was April 23, 2012,
46. On July 20, 2012, the Company's legal counsel wrote to CRA to submit amended
monthly GST/HST returns prepared by the Company for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011. The
amended returns show an aggregate GST/HST liability for those years of approximately $3,4
million, subject to assessment by CRA. In addition, while the Company did not file amended
returns for January and February, 2012, the combined liability of approximately $624,000 for
those months has not been paid to CRA.
47. The Company received Notices of Re-Assessment (the "NORAs") from CRA dated
January 11, 2013, which delineated the Applicant's HST obligations flowing from the amended
tax returns filed under the VDP. The aggregate HST liability owing pursuant to the NORAs is
$4,548,819, including the above-noted liabilities for January and February, 2012 and interest and
penalties of $369,845.
(g) Employees
48, The Applicant presently employs approximately 160 full-time employees, 700 part-time
employees, and 30 independent contractors in Ontario. The 30 independent contractors provide
services related to group fitness classes at each of the Applicant's 13 fitness facilities. The
Applicant's employees are not unionized and do not have a collective bargaining agent. Wages
and benefits total approximately $1,700,000 per month.
49. Based on the Applicant's current cash position, its pro-forma cash flows and its access to
the DIP Credit Facility (as defined herein), it has sufficient cash to continue to pay wages to its
remaining employees, contractors and its other obligations arising post-filing until the
completion of the proposed sale transaction or restructuring.
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 14
50. As of the date of this Affidavit, all source deductions related to the Applicant's
employees were current, including, without limitation, income tax withholdings, employee health
tax, worker's compensation, Canada Pension Plan and employment insurance.
51. The Applicant has no pension plans.
(h) Trade Creditors
52. As at February 5, 2013, the Applicant's other unsecured liabilities, including trade debt,
totalled approximately $850,000, which amount does not include outstanding February rent
payments of approximately $890,000. Since the Applicant's business does not require significant
consumable supplies or services, its trade creditor debt is generally small and is usually satisfied
in the ordinary course of business.
V. PRIOR MARKETING AND SALE PROCESS
53. On July 4, 2012, the Company engaged Integrity Square LLC ( "ISQ"), a specialty
financial advisory firm based in New York that focuses on the fitness and wellness sector, to
provide financial advisory services with respect to a sale of the Company or certain of its 13
fitness facilities.
54. Commencing in mid-August, 2012, ISQ contacted numerous potential purchasers that
either already had operations in the fitness facility sector or that ISQ believed would have
interest in Extreme, Of these parties, several executed non-disclosure agreements and received
the confidential information memorandum prepared by ISQ, which memorandum described
Extreme's business,
55. Several parties subsequently accessed the confidential electronic data room established to
assist with due diligence. October 10, 2012 was set as the date for potential purchasers to submit
written non-binding indications of interest that were to include, among other things, information
regarding purchase price, form of consideration, financing sources and due diligence
requirements.
56. The Applicant and ISQ concluded that the potential realizations from the offers generated
by the solicitation process described above were insufficient and, accordingly, no offers were
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 15
accepted. A financial summary of the offers tendered under the ISQ sale process is attached
hereto as Confidential Exhibit "O". The Applicant is requesting a sealing of this exhibit as it
contains commercially sensitive information, the release of which could prejudice the
stakeholders of the Company.
VI. SALE UNDER CCAA PROTECTION
57. Based on the information set out above and attached hereto, the Applicant is insolvent as
the aggregate of its property is not, at a fair valuation, sufficient, or, if disposed of at a fairly
conducted sale under legal process, would not be sufficient to enable payment of all its
obligations, due and accruing due.
58. In addition, without the additional financing made available under the Priority Credit
Agreement, the Applicant would be unable to meet its obligations as they fell due.
59. In order for the Applicant to ensure the best possible recovery for its stakeholders,
including, without limitation, its creditors, employees, customers and landlords, the Applicant
has determined that a sale of its business is required.
60. On January 18, 2013, the Applicant entered into a letter of intent (the "LOI") with
GoodLife. A copy of the LOI is attached hereto as Confidential Exhibit "P". The Applicant is
requesting a sealing of this exhibit as it contains confidential, competitively sensitive information
that, if disclosed, could harm the Applicant and its stakeholders. The LOT contemplates the sale
of substantially all of the Applicant's assets for an aggregate amount greater than any one or
more of the other offers proffered under the TSQ sales process and maximizes value for all
stakeholders.
61. The sale transaction contemplated in the LOI must, according to its terms, close on or
before March 31, 2013 or such other date as the parties thereto agree. Certain conditions
precedent must be satisfied prior to the conclusion of the sale, including, but not limited to:
(a) GoodLife concluding its due diligence with respect to the Applicant on or before
March 4, 2013;
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 16
(b) the execution of a binding asset purchase agreement in respect of substantially all
of the Applicant's assets (the "APA") by no later than March 18, 2013; and
(c) approval of the APA by the Court.
62. Pursuant to the LOI, until the earlier of; (i) the date on which the APA is executed; and
(ii) the date on which GoodLife terminates negotiations under the LOI, the Applicant, the
Applicant's shareholders, National Bank and Golub are precluded from directly or indirectly
soliciting or engaging in discussions or negotiations with any third party seeking to purchase
the Applicant's assets.
63. The parties to the LOI are diligently working towards satisfying the conditions set out
in the LOI and, to the extent that such conditions are satisfied, will enter into an APA, return to
Court to seek approval of the APA and ultimately distribute the realizations from said
transaction to the Applicant's creditors entitled thereto in accordance with their priority
assuming the transaction closes.
VII. STAY OF PROCEEDINGS
64. A CCAA stay of proceeding is needed to ensure that the Applicant's business can be sold
in an efficient and orderly way under the protection of the Court without the threat of
proceedings or discontinuation of essential services. A stay of proceedings will restrain
temporarily the exercise of rights and remedies under the various agreements to which the
Applicant is a party, preserve the status quo, and restrain existing creditors from taking unfair
advantage in the circumstances. Importantly, a stay of proceedings will allow the Applicant to
fulfil its obligations related to GoodLife's due diligence review of the Applicant under the terms
and conditions of the LOI with the view of ultimately entering into and completing the APA.
65. The Applicant believes that a stay of proceedings will not materially prejudice any of the
existing creditors when compared to the consequences if a stay of proceedings is not granted.
Golub, as agent for the benefit of itself and three lenders (collectively, in such capacity, the "DIP
Lender") has agreed to provide the Applicant with the DIP Facility and has agreed to continue
finding necessary post-filing expenses during the CCAA proceedings, the details of which are
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 17
set out below. I believe that the alternative to a stay of proceedings is the forced sale and/or
liquidation of the Applicant and its assets.
VIII. THE PROPOSED MONITOR
66. FTI has been serving as a consultant to National Bank with respect to its lending
arrangements with Extreme and has assisted the Applicant in preparing for this CCAA
application, including reviewing the cash flow projections of the Applicant for the next 9 weeks,
assuming the relief sought is granted (the "Cash Flow Projection"). The amounts set out in the
Cash Flow Projection reflect, among other things, the minimum payments required to maintain
the Applicant's business during the initial thirty day stay period and to the anticipated closing of
a sale transaction, as well as professional fees, A copy of the Cash Flow Projection together with
a report containing the prescribed representations of the Applicant regarding the preparation of
the Cash Flow Projection is attached as Exhibit "Q" to this Affidavit.
67. Management believes that it is in the best interests of all stakeholders if this Court
appoints FTI as the Court-appointed monitor of the Applicant. As a result of FTI's involvement
with the Applicant and certain of its major stakeholders, including, but not limited to, National
Bank, in advance of and in preparation for this filing, FTI has gained insight into the Applicant's
business and will be in a position to perform the monitoring duties effectively and without delay.
68. FTI has consented to act as monitor of the Applicant in accordance with the requirements
of the CCAA, subject to the Court's approval. A copy of FTI's consent is included in the
Application Record in these proceedings.
IX. FINANCING DURING CCAA PROCEEDINGS
69. The DIP Lender will provide the Applicant with financing during these proceedings
through a new credit facility (the "DIP Facility") allowing for one or more advances to a
maximum amount of USD$2,000,000 pursuant to a DIP Credit Agreement dated February 7,
2013 (the "DIP Credit Agreement"), a copy of the form of which is attached as Exhibit "R" to
this Affidavit. The repayment date under the DIP Credit Agreement is the earlier of: (i) the date
of demand by the DIP Lender; (ii) the date on which all or substantially all of the assets of the
Applicant are sold; and (iii) March 31, 2013. The original scheduled repayment date of March
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 18
31, 2013 may be extended at the discretion of the DIP Lender. The Cash Flow Projection
demonstrates that, with the fiinding available under the DIP Facility, the Applicant will have
sufficient cash flow to fund the Applicant's operations for the initial 9 week period, the
anticipated period to complete a sale transaction.
70. The Applicant has been offered the DIP Facility from certain of its existing lenders under
the Priority Credit Agreement and on what the Applicant views as reasonable terms in the
circumstances. In addition, National Bank has consented to the DIP Facility. As a result, the
Applicant did not canvas the market for other potential lenders. Because this offer for the DIP
Facility does not require any alteration of the Company's accounts, the Applicant believes that
there was no commercial advantage to pursuing other possible providers of a DIP Facility. In
addition, the DIP Lender is already familiar with Extreme's business and financial profile as well
as its restructuring options. Any other offer from other lenders would require a great deal of time
and expense to pursue, could require a new cash management system and would have to deal
with the security granted in connection with the credit facilities provided by Golub and National
Bank.
71. As provided in the DIP Credit Agreement, the DIP Facility is conditional on the
Applicant obtaining, as part of the initial Order sought in these proceedings (the "Initial
Order"), a charge in favour of the DIP Lender (the "DIP Charge") over all of the Applicant's
assets, ranking first in priority to any existing security other than the Administration Charge and
the D&O Charge (as defined below). The Service List includes all parties with a security interest
registered under the PPSA.
72. The Applicant believes that the terms of the DIP Facility are favourable to it having
regard to the circumstances and that the amount of the DIP Facility is necessary and reasonable
in the circumstances to ensure the Applicant has a prudent and responsible level of liquidity to
meet its post-filing obligations as they become due for the period of the initial stay and to
complete the proposed sale. The Applicant will not be able to continue its operations or initiate
going-concern sale efforts without access to the DIP Facility.
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 19
X. PAYMENTS DURING THE CCAA PROCEEDINGS
73. Dining the course of these CCAA proceedings, the Applicant intends to make payments
for goods and services supplied post-filing in the ordinary course as set out in the Cash Flow
Projection described above and as permitted by the Initial Order.
74. It is also contemplated by the Cash Flow Projection that: (a) employee wage obligations
relating to active employment will be paid in the ordinary course, whether such obligations are
incurred pre-filing or post-filing; and (b) outstanding and future amounts owing to independent
contractors may be paid in the ordinary course, if in the opinion of the Company and the
Monitor, the individual contractor is critical to Extreme's business and ongoing operations.
75. In addition, the Cash Flow Projection contemplates payment of scheduled interest
payments under the Priority Credit Agreement.
XI. ADMINISTRATION CHARGE
76. The Applicant's legal counsel, the Monitor, the Monitor's legal counsel and A&M have
indicated that their respective ongoing involvement is conditional upon the granting of an order
under the CCAA which grants the Administration Charge on the Applicant's property, assets and
undertaking in the maximum amount of $500,000 to secure their professional fees and
disbursements.
77. I believe that that the following factors support the granting of the Administration
Charge:
(a) the beneficiaries of the Administration Charge will provide essential legal and
financial advice and support to the Applicant throughout the CCAA proceedings;
(b) the roles of the Applicant's legal counsel, the Monitor, the Monitor's legal
counsel and A&M are distinct and there is no anticipated unwarranted
duplication; and
(c) the Administration Charge does not purport to prime any secured party who has
not received notice of this motion.
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 20
78. Accordingly, I believe that this is an appropriate case in which to grant the
Administration Charge. Each of the proposed beneficiaries of the Administration Charge will
play a critical role in the Applicant's restructuring and proposed sale, and it is unlikely that the
above-noted advisors will participate in these CCAA proceedings unless the Administration
Charge is granted to secure their fees and disbursements.
XII. DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' CHARGE
79. The Directors, Officers and Interim Officers have indicated that their respective ongoing
involvement is conditional upon the granting of an order under the CCAA which grants a charge
on the Applicant's property in the maximum amount of $2,880,000 (the "D&O Charge"),
approximately equal to 4 weeks wages plus accrued vacation pay plus 2 months of estimated
HST obligations, as security for the Applicant's indemnification for possible liabilities which
may be incurred by such Directors, Officers and Interim Officers, which would rank second in
priority behind the Administration Charge.
80. The Applicant maintains a Management Liability Insurance policy with Lloyd's
Underwriters (the 'Policy"), The Policy provides coverage to the Applicant, any subsidiary or
joint-venture of the Applicant, the Directors and Officers, the Interim Officers and the retired
directors and officers of the Applicant. The aggregate limit of liability coverage provided for
under the Policy is $5,000,000.
81. Management of the Applicant has made inquiries with the Applicant's current insurance
broker and am advised that a comparable level of insurance coverage is not available through
any other insurance provider at rates more favourable than those in place as of the date of this
Affidavit,
82. The Policy contains several exclusions and limitations to the coverage it provides and
there is a potential for there to be insufficient coverage in respect of the potential liabilities for
which the Directors, Officers and Interim Officers may be found responsible.
83. The D&O Charge is required in order to provide a level of protection to the Directors,
Officers and Interim Officers with respect to the possible liabilities imposed on individuals in
their capacity as directors and officers of the Applicant. I believe that the request of the
Affidavit of Alan Hutchens Page 21
Directors, Officers and Interim Officers to receive adequate protection in the form of the D&O
Charge is fair and reasonable and advances the integral need of the Applicant to have fully
functional, experienced and qualified advisors, board of directors and officers,
XIII. CONCLUSION
84. It is in the best interests of all stakeholders of the Applicant for this Court to grant the

(b) Throughout the CCAA Proceedings, paragraph 5 of the Initial Order shall continue to apply to the Settlement Account and the Reserve Account.
(c) Falconhead and Extreme acknowledge and agree that the Partial Repayment was intended to, and did repay the Falconhcad Advance to the extent of $200,000 and that Extreme has no right, title or interest in the Partial Repayment.
2.02 Return of Falconhcad Advance
For the purposes of this Agreement, the outstanding balance of the Falconhead Advance shall be regarded as the Reserve Account for the purposes of the Merchant Agreement and, for the purposes of the Escrow Account Agreement, all references to repaying or returning the Reserve Account to Extreme or NBC shall be deemed to be references to repayment of the Falconhead Advance to Falconhcad.
Paymentech shall repay the Reserve Account to Extreme on a staggered basis by irrevocably authorizing the payment of the funds to Extreme (and Falconhead and Extreme expressly acknowledge and agree that, for the purposes of the Escrow Account Agreement, payment of such funds to Extreme or NBC, as applicable, shall constitute repayment of the Falconhead Advance in the same amount and to the same extent) in accordance with the following timeline:
(a) $500,000 on or before June 25, 2013;
(b) $100,000 on or before July 15, 2013;
(c) $100,000 on or before August 15, 2013; and
(d) $100,000 on or before September 15, 2013,
subject to any deductions for the purpose of processing chargebacks, service fees and fees, fines and penalties assessed by the payment brands related to transactions that have been processed through the Merchant Account that exceed the amounts in the Settlement Account. The parties acknowledge and agree that the funds that are authorized to be released pursuant to the terms hereof will not be received in the Settlement Account on the same Business Day as the date on which they are authorized to be released.
Subject to Paymentech conducting a final risk review prior to October 15, 2013 and determining that there is no continuing risk on the Merchant Account for amounts owing pursuant to the terms of the Merchant Agreement, Paymentech will repay the final $100,000 on or before October 15, 2013. In the event that Paymentech reasonably determines that there is a continuing risk on the Merchant Account, it shall notify Extreme, Falconhead and NBC in writing forthwith and discuss its rationale for so determining. For greater certainty, after Paymentech reasonably determines that there is no continuing risk on the Merchant Account, any amounts it continues to hold shall be returned to Extreme or NBC, as applicable.
In the event that Extreme does not intend to obtain an order from the Court extending the Stay Period, it shall notify Paymentech in writing five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Stay Period.
After the expiry of the Stay Period, (a) Paymentech shall set off and deduct the amounts it is entitled to deduct pursuant to this Section related to transactions that have been processed through the Merchant Account directly from the Reserve Account; and (b) any funds in the Reserve Account to be returned pursuant to this Section shall be paid by Paymentech directly to NBC. Paymentech shall provide normal course reporting to NBC with respect to same. For clarity, the amounts to be released pursuant to the timeline set out above shall be reduced by any amounts deducted from the Reserve Account pursuant to this Section.
Extreme and Falconhead agree that the funds paid to Extreme pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied as a partial reduction to Extreme's indebtedness to NBC.
2.03 Return of Equipment
Without limiting the generality of Section 2.02, Extreme shall reimburse Paymentech in full for the amount of any point-of-sale equipment that has not been returned to Paymentech. As of the date of this Agreement, such amount has been determined to be $2,810.00.
